The goalkeeper Loris Karius coindied with the attacker: “It is a very important game for us, for the club, for the fans, of course they have a good team and we respect them, but we don’t fear anyone. We have a lot of confidence in ourselves and our own capabilities, we know we can beat them. “

“We want to go straight to the Champions again, the second (place) would obviously be ideal”, he added.

In just nine games away from the end of the season, Liverpool is third with 60 points, just two behind Manchester United (62).
